Zenaq's Fokeeto Ikari is an offshore vertical-jigging series built around the IKARI blank (patent #7061787), a carbon core embedded inside a high-elasticity wall. The construction lets a high-modulus blank bend deep and recover fast, applying constant pressure through a fight while keeping the responsiveness needed for jig work. The lineup covers high-pitch, short-pitch, slow-pitch, and long-jig one-pitch presentations across a wide target band, from roughly 3 kg fish up to 10 kg-plus, in depths reported from 50 to 600-plus meters. Two reel platforms run in parallel: FB models pair with conventional/baitcasting reels, FS models with spinning reels. The series scales by jig weight rather than by a single specialized blank, so one rod handles several jigging styles. Offset handles keep the closed length under 140 cm for travel, and hexagonal grip sections aid rotational control during retrieve. Zenaq frames the design around total tackle balance rather than chasing minimum rod weight, and the blank's shock absorption is what allows the lighter PE ratings listed across the range.

A closer look at notable models.

FB63-1 IKARI Casting · 6'3"

The lightest conventional model at 6'3", rated to roughly 120g jigs on PE 1.5, suited to light vertical jigging for the smaller end of the target band. Baitcasting platform for one-pitch and short-pitch retrieves where line-watching and contact matter.

FB63-3 IKARI Casting · 6'3"

A 6'3" conventional rod rated to 240g over a wide PE 0.8-2 window, offered in Short and Long grip configs. The broad line range and mid jig weight make it a versatile all-rounder across pitch styles at moderate depth.

FS63-1.5 IKARI Spinning · 6'3"

Spinning counterpart at 6'3" carrying jigs to about 130g on PE 1.5. The spin platform suits casting-and-jigging or high-pitch work where a spinning reel's free-spool retrieve is preferred over conventional.

FB64-5 IKARI Casting · 6'4"

Stepping up to 6'4" and 280g jigs on PE 1.5-2.5, this conventional model handles heavier vertical work and deeper water. Short and Long grip options tune leverage for the angler's preferred jigging cadence.

FS64-5.5 IKARI Spinning · 6'4"

The heaviest spinning model at 6'4", rated to 280g on PE 1.5-3, with Short and Long grip versions. Built for heavy spin jigging on the upper target classes where a wider PE ceiling adds fighting margin.
